This Indian startup just made history.
A tiny team of 8 from Bhubaneswar just proved to the world that they can manufacture pharmaceuticals in near space.
And they did all of this in just 6 months.
But why they are doing it is the huge part.
Take the example of Keytruda, which is one of the world's biggest cancer drugs.
Patients need hundreds of milligrams of it.
But squeezing that much medicine into a tiny injection is extremely difficult.
Because at high concentrations these giant protein molecules can clump together and the liquid becomes thick.
Kinda like adding too much protein powder to a tiny glass of milk.
But in microgravity, something magical happens.
Those same molecules can form much more uniform crystals - potentially allowing scientists to pack the same amount of medicine into a much smaller volume.
And the insane part is - you don't need to send the drugs into space every time you need to create a new batch.
In fact, Serendipity has proved that you can create like a tiny "mother batch" in space.
And use that same batch to create much larger batches on Earth.
They've already tested their autonomous pharma factory during their near space mission - while safely recovering the samples.
And the fact that Serendipity did all of this with a team of 8 people out of Bhubaneshwar with a tiny budget is kinda crazy.
Next step: Manufacturing in Space

Ordered 1L oil. Received 800g pouches from 2 different companies (one actual ~910g, other clearly 800g).
Raised complaint with clear brand + quantity photos. Ticket closed claiming “brand not visible” — completely false.
Moral of the entire thread: to get a certificate through village level CSC, you need to tag a national-level influencer and our Bothra saheb, as well as should open an account in X.
@rdmodisha should publish these steps in the next gazette notification.
Three Indian teenagers looked at discarded tamarind seeds and saw a microplastic filter.
Most of us would have just seen waste.

This is not a "mistake", this feels like a deliberate scam on your customers. Either replace my order immediately or refund with compensation. Expecting urgent resolution.Order ID: JM6A1F8926018F32DF00

@JioMart On 3rd June I ordered 1L Sunpure Sunflower Oil from JioMart. What I received? An 800g pouch. Clear short-weighting. Complained immediately. Your team promised replacement by 5th June. Today is 5th — no replacement, no call, no update. (1/2)
Why didn't critics set up a polymer plant and supply to RBI earlier?Demand for polymers was known for years—India's shortfall is real(~1.6MMT capacity vs 4MMT+need).Adani built capacity in Mundra instead of waiting for imports. Stop the 'govt does everything for Adani' narrative.

@OSRTC_Odisha@STAOdisha@CMO_Odisha@CTOdisha After I publicly tweeted, your team contacted and helped me — thank you for that. But passengers shouldn’t have to tweet publicly every time to get basic information and help. #OSRTC
